Acacia leucolobia is a species of plant in the family Fabaceae. It is endemic to eastern Australia.
Acacia leucolobia typically grows as a shrub to a height of 3 metres (10 ft) and has a spreading habit. It has patent to reflexed phyllodes that have a narrowly oblong-elliptic to lanceolate shape.
It is native to an area of New South Wales from around Coolah in the north down to around Katoomba in the south and from around Bowral to Wingello as a part of open Eucalyptus woodland communities. [4]
It was first described in 1830 by Robert Sweet. [1] [2] The specific epithet, leucolobia, is an adjective describing the plant as "white-podded". [5] [2]
